Kane Responds to Owen: “Decision to go to Bayern was personal”

The England captain, Harry Kane, has responded to the statements of Michael Owen, who suggested that the striker was “crazy” for joining Bayern Munich two years ago, when he had the Premier League goal record within reach. Kane, who has been the subject of criticism from Owen, adopted a diplomatic stance, arguing that his move to Germany was also due to the desire to play at the highest level.

I heard what he said. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’ve spent some time with him, but I don’t know him well. Obviously, he’s a Premier League and England legend, so I respect him as a person.
